Upon further review, call it 'Crap and the City'

Filed Under: ,

In the spring, I met up with a group of girlfriends for dinner and drinks before going to see the "Sex And The City: The Movie." Being a big fan of the HBO series, I was looking forward to the film. Two hours into the two-and-a-half hour flick, I thought, eh, it's OK and it's a bit too long.

During my recent staycation, I watched the movie again on DVD. This time around, I still thought it was too long, but instead of being OK I now think it's a load of crap.


AP file
Only Charlotte, left, comes off as sympathetic in "Sex and the City: The Movie"

First off, I loved all four of the main characters, each different, but each fantastic in her own unique way. Samantha, the utter id who did it all her way, Charlotte, the eternal optimist, Miranda, the cynical career woman and Carrie, the voice of reason with the pathological shopping problem.

After watching the movie again, the only one I liked was Charlotte. She was the only one who remained true to her character, confessing that she found something she loved about her life and her marriage everyday.

Miranda was turned into the worst version of her sometimes bitter self -- unforgivingly judgmental, angry and utterly unyielding. Samantha turns to food to suppress her primal instincts because she just can't be a one-guy gal. And finally Carrie, who ditches the quiet restrained wedding she was going to have with twice-divorced Mr. Big for a Page Six extravaganza because of "the dress."

OK, the characters were always more or less two-dimensional representations of archetypes. In the movie, those types are whittled down to a sliver. When did the writers lose their respect for these ladies?

I'm growing increasingly dismayed by how women are portrayed in movies. Watch the trailers for these two upcoming movies -- "Bride Wars" and "He's Just Not That Into You." According to "Bride Wars," women are so self-absorbed and petty that they would battle with and lose a best friend rather than pick another day to hold a wedding.

And yet Hollywood keeps churning out this junk. Why? Because we women spend money to see it! I'm guilty -- I saw "Sex And The City" twice!

Does anyone else share my dismay about the portrayal of women in films? Anyone else think "Sex And The City" was more like hate mail than a love letter?

I know it had flaws, but I pretty much loved it the first time except for the portrayal of Samantha.  The relationship between her and Smith was so lovely and heartwarming during the series, and they turned it into an absolute nothing on screen.  Very disappointing.  

I do plan to watch it again on DVD, hopefully it won't ALL turn to crap for me!!

I actually liked the movie.  Miranda did get on my nerves, but she was always unyielding and way too hard on Steve.  Charlotte stayed Charlotte and Samantha finally realized she could not be in a monogamous relationship and yielded to her need to be free to see other men.  The story line of her using food as a replacement for other men was funny and an appropriate metaphor.  In the end she realized she had to be true to herself.  I think all women struggle with balancing the roles others think they they should play and who we actually are as a woman.  Carrie and Big did their normal dysfunctional relationship story line but in the end they compromised and met in the middle because they realized they weren't happy without each other.  No relationship is perfect and we all bring a certain amount of baggage, so coming to terms with that and realizing that we're going to mess up along the way is a step in the right direction of having a healthy, if not perfect, relationship.  I thought it was a very touching movie.

I am also an avid Sex and The City fan.  The movie may have been a little too long, however, the content was great.  All the characters stayed true to who they are.  They dealt with real issues according to their character.  This movie was about love, forgiveness, and most important; friends.

Hell yes.  I just saw it this weekend on demand (due to political overload) and I was VERY dissapointed.  You are correct, Miranda could not forgive Steve but didn't give him any for 6 months?? Are you kidding me?? Isn't she a lawyer?  And why would Big chicken out after he flew to Paris to get her?? And since when in all those years would Sam not get some? It was crap.  I loved seeing them again, but I was extremely disspointed.

Overall, I thought the writing in the movie was not on par with the writing in the television show. However, I am such a die-hard fan of SATC that I love them both anyway, flaws included.

Oh, I couldn't agree more with this opinion! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Sex & the City, the series. I wasn't sure where they were going to go with the movie, after where they left the characters on the show. I was really disappointed! I mean, each of the women seemed to come to the comfort zones in their lives.  Then in the movie, Samantha breaks up with Smith??? Steve cheats??? Big messes up AGAIN and Carrie becomes the desperate woman trying to figure it out AGAIN?? I wish they would have just let the fabulous happy ending on the series stay. The movie could only be great if you didn't follow the series.

I just saw this movie for the first time. It was just "okay" for me rating it B or less. It dragged in parts and failed to deliver what the weekly HBO shows did. I was very disappointed, to say the least.

From the amount of money these movies make, these type of women are what we want to see. Movies are an escape from reality and are a place we can let loose and be someone else. Its fun to see characters totally different from who we really are and ones that might not exist in real life.

I loved SATC, but the movie sucked.  When I finished the last season I remember thinking that all the girls seemed to have learned lessons and become wholer people.  The movie tried to wipe all that away just for drama.  I was pretty disappointed.

i agree the movie was too long, it left me semi-numb to the characters i have loved so long, BUT - i did appreciate the way Carrie's pain of losing Big was portrayed. I really loved the scene in the street where she attacked him w/ the roses. I mean what scorned woman hasn't wanted to do the very same thing to the man she loved??? Also the pain on her face as she looked in the mirror after days of sleeping in her honeymoon suite...true recognition of the way her life would have to change passed across her face. These parts played true, so i am giving credit where credit is due.

And here we go again, another judgment call on women - AGAIN.  If any characters need a judgment call, let's look at the men in the movie.  C'mon on, a man like Mr. Big doesn't have balls to tell it like it is so he leaves Carrie like that?  Steve - he would have never cheated on Miranda.  As in real life, too much like reality.  Let's quit being so hard on the ladies for a change.

This group of women was ALWAYS portrayed as self-centered and shallow. Personal achievement always took a back seat to finding a man; Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now. It was aALWAYS a stupid show on HBO. Now that the author has seen the film twice, at least she's finally seeing what she should've noticed all along.

I never saw the movie; not a fan of Sex and the City. But looking at the Housewives of Atlantic City for five minutes - yes, yes I do see a pattern. They make Hef's girls look like brain surgeons. A bunch of grown women appearing to have the maturity of a spoiled teenager. Hills, Bret Michaels - oh yeah. Us women get no respect and it is getting worse. Have you seen the Hulkster's daughter? She even spewed sexism about women in politics. Very sad.

I have to say, I was so excited they made the movie in the first place.  But, I was expecting a lot more from it, I have seen it many times (I bought it) and I agree about it being too long, or maybe spending too much time on the post wedding "aftermath", I am a HUGE FAN of MR. BIG and would have loved to have seen more of Carrie & Big's relationship as it is "today" afterall, he went to Paris to "get our girl".  I kept thinking to myself, she's been with Big now on and off for 10 years, if he truly has become the guy we saw at the beginning of the movie was any indication of how he actually changed (for the better), then why was she so quick to not listen to him when he told her he was ready now to get married? He freaked out for a minute (thank you Miranda) and she wouldn't even listen to him and just was what, never going to talk to him again?  I blame that whole thing on Miranda or maybe even ENID who set her up for "the dress" fiasco in the first place.  If they make a sequel (which as a fan, I hope they do), I hope they rethink some of the directions they took these beloved characters in this movie.  Charlotte was so funny, I just loved her.  And seriously, so sad about SMITH!

OMG...FINALLY someone who totally agrees with me on the SATC movie..LOL..I have to admit, I also met friends for food, but mostly Cosmos, and went to see the movie. I was extremely tipsy by the time we saw it, & the next morning when my hubby asked me what I thought, I told him I was a little vague on the details, but just had a very pissed off feeling. I did not go see it again, bought the DVD, only to find, my 1st tipsy opinion was dead on. Miranda was a total bizatch, and frankly, don't know if I would have 4given Steve that easily although the way she acted, I might have cheated too. Samantha giving into food??? C'mon, that was sooo disappointing. But why give up the food AND SMITH? Not sure that is the way it would have played out on TV since Samantha always had her cake and ate it too! And Carrie FELT BAD ABOUT GETTTING TOO INVOLVED IN HER WEDDING? Are you kidding? After all the time and all that Big put her through, he had the nerve to whine because she got a bit preoccupied with the wedding??? She DESERVED her moment in the sun after waiting so long for that self-serving cry baby. I thought it was OFFENSIVE the way that she took responsibility for his insecurities.
I was totally disappointed in this movie. It took our girls and turned them all around with the exception of Charlotte.
We are so used to being made fun of by men, that we just join in now. I think we believe if we laugh at ourselves first, then we are putting one over on them. Sadly, we are only pulling a "Carrie".

Thank you for writing this piece. I agree! My biggest issue was with "Carrie" and getting out of control with the wedding, but then being left on her wedding day and then taking him back. After all her character had been through with "Big" I had a hard time believing this storyline. I loved the show, but what I loved is that even when these women made mistakes, they found ways to be strong on their own and to stand up for themselves.

Sex In The City ALWAYS has been crap.  Certainly it was entertaining to those easily attracted to well crafted fluff.  But, however slick, stylish and chic, SITC has always been inhabited by characters undeserving of any thinking person's consideration or concern.

Conrad, Pennsylvania (Sent Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:52 AM)

I completely agree.  I tried to see the movie in theaters, not once, but twice.  Both times I was disappointed that it sold out.  I recently watched it on DVD.  Charlotte, who was often my least favorite character of the serious, was the only one to stay true to her character.  I was disappointed that Miranda turned into a shrew who, apparently, deserved to have her husband cheat on her. I never expected Samantha to be anything but self-absorbed, but that played out too unrealistic.  I was most disappointed that Carrie, not only fell into the big wedding at all costs trap, but that she moped and suffered for what, like 6 months only to marry Big in the end.  I suppose it's possible that I was actually most disappointed that Big actually took her back. Big let down!

Sorry, but I don't agree. I loved the series, all of the women and  the movie.  I didn't see any crap in it at all.  No, it wasn't deep, but it wasn't meant to be. It was meant to be entertainment and it  certainly entertained me.  I would love to see another one or have the series revived. I miss it.  I still watch the re-runs and play the trivia game, but I would like new stories and storylines.  These women are awesome and that is an overused word I ever utter, but they are.  As Miranda has said, "It's my thing, I love it, get over it".

Um ever hear that art imitates life?  Maybe women are portrayed in movies a certain way because that is how we act in real life.  Re: Bride Wars, every recently married woman I know (myself included) went kinda nuts and did things we're not too proud of around the big day.  Hey, it happens.  But please remember, movies are supposed to be entertainment.  I really enjoyed SATC the movie because I didn't take it too seriously.  I'd suggest you try the same when sampling anything in the romantic comedy genre.

Absolutely agreed that the movie stayed a little longer than its welcome. It felt like it lasted four hours!

Charlotte, as usual, is the likeable one. Women portrayed in movies and on television are rarely shown as more than an archetype.

Sarah, Newport, Oregon (Sent Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:04 AM)

No I don't think it's a load of crap, I think its the truth! Women are portrayed that way because that's the way they really are. They ARE self absorbed, they ARE petty and they don't know what the heck they want. Take Carrie for example. She wants a commitment, then she gets a nice guy like Aiden who wants to get married and she dumps him for a guy (Big) that can't commit! I never thought she deserved Aiden in the first place. She's not good enough for guys like that. She's never satisfied and has to whine continuously about whatever is wrong with her current beau and she has to beat it to death. Charlotte was too desperate, Miranda too bitter and Carrie too whiny. The reason men are the way they are is because of women. They have no one to blame but themselves. I love men as friends and if these women would do the same and see that men get loney & depressed just like women they will get a more realistic view and not depend on them to make you happy.

Well, considering the popularity of the "Bridezilla" shows on network television, is it really that far fetched that Hollywood is giving to the masses what they want?  These are the women people want to see because it is fun to escape to these worlds.  

Shawn, Hartford, CT (Sent Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:24 AM)

Not to sound like the anti-feminist, but unfortunately when I saw Bride Wars I could easily think of two female acquaintances that I could see in that situation.  I'm not speaking for the gender as a whole but really I've met more nasty and catty women lately, and I think Hollywood is just focusing in on those extreme cases and blowing it into an epic proportion as they do with so many other things...which of course in the eyes of some makes the behavior all that much more acceptable.
As for Sex in the City I never saw the original series but my husband was a big fan so I sat through the movie with him.  I don't recall much of the movie except that I kept thinking, "You really liked this?"  But like you, he felt that they deviated from the original characters fairly drastically.  I was just reminded why the majority of my friends have always been guys.

I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the SATC movie.  I was the only one among my friends who felt that the each lady was suddenly just a caricature of their former selves.  Especially Samantha.  Her character was a one-note diva without the nuance and strenght of spirit she had in the series.  My friends raved and raved; I kept my mouth shut.  I feel blasphemous for not fawning all over the movie like every other woman in America.

Why not just admit 'Sex and the City' has been crap for most of its television run and the movie was one last crappy gasp to rake in a little more cash?

The first season was cute and exploratory. The rest - movie included - was an exploitation of silly audiences with a yen for modern role models - via lifeless cut-out characters, tedious plotlines, the use and abuse of New York City landmarks and more brands than The Price Is Right.

I can't believe anyone went into the theatre to see the film expecting anything more than a shoe commercial with tits.

I think you think too much. The reactions of the women were very true-to-life. Real women lose themselves to a relationship and compensate by eating too much. Real women get caught up in the WEDDING and forget about the MARRIAGE. Real men do very stupid things and real women punish them for it--sometimes to an unnecessary extreme (of course if the guy had been someone we didn't like instead of very-likeable Steve, we'd be complaining that Miranda forgave and went back to him in the end). The rarity here is Charlotte. How many women do we know that happily admit that they find someone wonderful in their life and marriage every single day? The movie was an appropriate celebration the series and the women's lives. Besides, it was a movie. If you didn't like it, the series is on DVD....move on.

Michelle, Arkansas (Sent Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:00 PM)

SATC portrays women as outright scarey.  I suppose it is quite possible that our society has defined the modern woman as something completely unapproachable by men.  For some reason women from other cultures understand men a whole lot better and they are themselves much more logical and reasonable easier to understand.  So, I guess U.S. women can reassure themselves that they are "ok",  but they should never be mistaken to think American men think so.

Thinking that it might be fun to watch on DVD, I tried again and lasted less than 10 minutes into the flick before I took it out of my DVD player.  
I'd much rather watch the classic last season episodes (Splat! is still one of my favorites) and remember when Big rescued Carrie in Paris and Charlotte and Harry found out about their baby...next staycation, i'll be curling up with my Sex in the City DVD's and NOT the movie!

I have to admit I loved the SATC series.  And I was so excited about the movie.  I have seen it twice and for the most part really enjoyed it.  The only gripe I had with the series and the movie is how much money these women seem to have.  Carrie was the only one who slightly struggled with financial problems in the series.  But even she had fabulous (but very strange) clothes and of course the shoes.  I do agree that, at times, they all seemed too good for any man that came along - with the exception of Charlotte.  I definitely thought Carrie did not deserve Aidan.  He was too good and kind for her.  She and Mr. Big did belong together.  They were two of a kind.  I did enjoy the addition of Jennifer Hudson's character in the movie.  I have to say though I do miss the series.  I have watched the re-runs dozens of times and still enjoy the show.

I LOVED IT!  I laughed and I cried all the way through both times I saw it. To me it was very real. Nobody stays "true to themselves" 100% the whole time. Carrie's breakup with Big was so real to me because I'd been through something similar and yes I AM happily married to him NOW!  I have friends similar to each of these women and this IS the way they act even when they stray from their normal "true to themselves" path now and then.

I completely agree!  Not only were there only slivers of the women's original personalities - they were reduced to gimicky story lines.  The entire movie was Carrie & Big, blah blah blah I'm depressed, did I cause it, blah blah blah. Boring.  As an avid fan of the tv show, I wasn't never convinced that Big was even a decent guy to end up with.  The entire series of the tv show was proving how cold and shut off he was, and then now we're supposed to buy into he's a wonderful partner and an amazing man?!  Really?!!  NO WAY!  The thing that was missing the most from the movie was the everyday.  The movie was all about over the top extravagance.  The audience fell in love with the women dealing with day to day stuff.

I wasn't thrilled with the movie either, but for different reasons...Charlotte wasn't true to her character. If you recall, 80% of her lines were just her making a shrieking noise or a silly face. Strange.  And Carrie has to give up the wedding that was perfect for her (wearing a designer dress, her friends with her, surrounded by books, etc) for the wedding that Big imagines. Plus, he bails on her for the 100th time and Carrie takes him back and it's a HAPPY ending? What message about woman does that send?

Keri, Birmingham AL (Sent Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:39 PM)

I wondered if they felt the need to over-emphasize the character types because they were worried that people who didn't watch the show wouldn't get it.  Each of the 4 is a very distinct "type" and I just thought, in the movie, they pounded away at that and maybe it was for those who hadn't watched the show for years to know who they each were.  Doesn't give a lot of credit to the audience....
